Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup shortening like Crisco
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup crushed potato chips
  • powdered sugar for sprinkling on top
  • 1 cup Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers 

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix butter, shortening (Crisco) and sugar until well combined. Add vanilla, flour and crushed potato chips.
  2. Drop by 2 Tablespoons on a cookie sheet.
  3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown on bottom and white on top. When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  4. If desired (which I do), dip in melted chocolate and refrigerate to set. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To make the cookies more uniform, and look smooth, roll into a ball and press top with thumb before baking. I usually do the first two batches like this, then give up cause I want to be done and turn my oven off!!
  • Store in an airtight container kept in a cool place. If your home runs warm and the chocolate starts to get melty, you can also keep them in the fridge for easy snacking.
  • Definitely use BOTH butter and shortening in the recipe if you can. This combination of fats creates a cookie with buttery flavor and a soft texture.
